Use of Penetral

[Scott]

I have a 1984 222 in very good condition. I read about a product called Penetral. I would like to treat the topside with this product. (by the way it restored the blue color bands on the side of the haul the best I ever saw)So I bought the stuff and tried it this weekend. I cleaned the surface, applied the Penetral with a clean cotton terry cloth rag and let it sit for maybe a minute, then removed it. I am concerned about it use and how to use it. It left th e suface kinda sticky. Is this normal? It seem very easy to use. Should I apply a wax after its use? Or should I be using something else. Can someone help?Thank You

Marine Penetrol

ScottI have used Marine Penetrol for the last couple of years and am very happy with the results. If it is leaving a sticky surface you may not be rubbing it out well enough. It doesn't require a lot of buffing but you do have to remove any excess and buff it out some. I don't recall it leaving a sticky film. I will be doing my boat again in a few days.Paul

Caution

Scott,Penetral is neat stuff but I would hesitate using it on the topsides and deck. It is basically a varnish and in time can flake off. It will also build up and have a slight yellow cast.If you have already bought it, it is good for things like coating your aluminum mast and boom for extra protection.r.w.landau
